It is B nevermind I thought it was c but it wasn't.
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
Valance electrons can be determined by <u>Group</u> on the periodic table
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
- Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. We can determine the total number of valence electrons present in an atom by checking at its Group in which it is placed in the periodic table. For example, atoms in Groups 1 the number of valence electron is one and for group 2 the number of valence electrons is 2.
- The groups have number of valance electrons as follow:
Group 1 - 1 valence electron.
Group 2 - 2 valance electrons.
Group 13 - 3 valence electrons.
Group 14 - 4 valance electrons.
Group 15 - 5 valence electrons.
Group 16 - 6 valence electrons.
Group 17 - 7 valence electrons.
Group 18 - 8 valence electrons.
Result: No of valence electron can be determined by the group no. of the element.
From the calculation, the moles of water produced is 18 moles of water.
<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>
A decomposition reaction is one in which a substance is split up into smaller parts.
We have the reaction; 2 Cr(OH)3(aq) ------------> Cr2O3(s) + 3H2O(l)
From this reaction;
2 moles of Cr(OH)3 produced 3 moles of water
12 moles of Cr(OH)3 will produce;
12 moles * 3 moles / 2moles
= 18 moles of water
Hence, 12 moles of chromium (III) hydroxide produces 18 moles of water.
